Börü 2039

It's obvious that Börü 2039 made professionally, but mentally it's amateur. Of course this fact comes with pros and cons.

First of all, director is giving his best...Actually, "best" isn't the correct word. More like he is giving all of his life experience.

Because of this watching Börü 2039 is extremely intense. You are always in a dialogue with the director between the lines. In one scene he says "Read that book, you will see it's benefits" and on another "Do you see how she talks? A president should be like that.". In short, it's not an entertainment product (And this is a big problem.).

This "dialogue intensity" continues for 1 hour.

You will use pause button a lot.

This mentality is obviously wrong for filmmaking, but ironically it's also exactly what Turkish industry needs. Almost all the dramas using a certain formula in Turkey. Most of the times I'm able to tell scenario just looking by a short scene. They are reminding me mainstream AAA video games, looking big and fancy, but empty inside.

Börü 2039 is vice versa. It's %100 a text-based game with good story.

It needs a better teaser, catchy soundtracks and more screentime to explain what is going on... I'm saying Börü 2039 is strong at the core; if you spend your time for it, it's rewarding you. You begin to see real life gunfight tactics, Asimov books and Dune references (director says "begin from the classics, Turkish youth!"), notrino particles to explain time machines etc.

Lastly: Some scenes are superb, some scenes are not. Because the staff is just trying to do their best, there is no standard. You can see this as a plus ("Amateur spirit, boy!") or a minus (Not professional, dude.") , it's up to you.

A suggestion: Find a Turkish sci-fi nerd, watch this with the nerd or ask him questions after watching alone. Probably he will tell interesting facts.

You might want to follow Alper Çaglar. He is the first Turkish director trying to do a sci-fi. Imagine what we'll be watching 10 years from now if the world's second largest TV country learns to do sci-fi. (;

This show is so good on so many levels. The thing I like the most is the well-established connection with the former BORU team. Visual Effects are also very very impressive. Looking forward to every episode to follow!!

We had never seen action and sci-fi genre productions in Turkey before. The actors could have been chosen better. The script could have been written much better. And of course there are some logic errors. But considering this is a first, that's nice. I hope it will be a very good production with a little more support..

An Alper Caglar Classic. Enjoy watching. Best efforts. Good Actors. Thanks for this excellent production. Thanks Alper Caglar. Wolf did returning. 👍 And we love Murat Arkin :))

You should definitely give it a chance and watch it. This is the first time such things are being tried in Turkey, but despite this, it has been very successful.
